Chicken

About This Movie

So, 'Chicken' is this intense little drama that really digs into the lives of two brothers. Richard, the younger one, struggles with learning difficulties, and you can feel his desire for stability just throbbing off the screen. His brother Polly, on the other hand, is like a whirlwind—restless and destructive, and they clash in such a raw way. The atmosphere is pretty gritty, fitting for their caravan lifestyle, and the pacing has this unique ebb and flow that keeps you engaged. There’s a heavy focus on themes like family ties and the struggles of displacement, which resonate deeply. The performances are understated yet powerful, making their situation feel all too real. It’s not flashy, but has a certain weight that sticks with you.
